In the World of the High Tech Redneck, the Graybeard is the old guy who earned his gray by making all the mistakes, and then tries to keep the young 'uns from repeating them. Silicon Graybeard is my term for an old hardware engineer; a circuit designer. Here are mental droppings from a newly retired radio engineer running from tech news to economics; from firearms to the world at large; from radio to home machine shops and making all kinds of stuff.

Maybe We Can't Think Like Gun Grabbers

Joe Huffman at "The View From North Central Idaho" has an excellent post up on how the coming nastiness might unfold. You should RTWT. I especially noticed this part early in the post because it echoes what I talked about Monday:

About 10 years ago I was talking to someone from the CIA who managed a
group of psychologists. He was explaining how difficult it was for
people in the U.S., even in the intelligence community, to understand
how our Muslim adversaries thought. He told me, “They think differently
than we do. It’s even possible they think differently than we can think.”

It may be that we have the same sort of problem with the anti-gun
people and they with us. After all, many of the things they say sounds
like crazy talk to us. And they insist what we say is “crazy talk” as well.
